<br>
"Lightweight" might be something that opens up controversy.<br>
It just keeps coming back to my mind an experience I had in trying to<br>
present fellow mentees to working groups and someone coming up to me<br>
and saying that I was "putting on them to too much". Of course, I<br>
disagreed to this but I think we may want to give a few more<br>
indications on to up to where this workload may lead to?<br>
I think just a little bit more specification<br>
<br>
The mentoring requirement is lightweight, basically involves<br>
indicating activities which can be done in partnership, such as<br>
getting engaged in a working group or contributing to a public<br>
comment.<br>
<br>
Other than that, all is fine by me.<br>
